1. Nature of Operations | 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS Jewett-Cameron Trading Company Ltd. was incorporated in British Columbia on July 8, 1987 as a holding company for Jewett-Cameron Lumber Corporation (JCLC), incorporated September 1953. Jewett-Cameron Trading Company, Ltd. acquired all the shares of JCLC through a stock-for-stock exchange on July 13, 1987, and at that time JCLC became a wholly owned subsidiary. Effective September 1, 2013, the Company reorganized certain of its subsidiaries. JCLCs name was changed to JC USA Inc. (JC USA), and a new subsidiary, Jewett-Cameron Company (JCC), was incorporated. JC USA has the following wholly owned subsidiaries: MSI-PRO Co. (MSI), incorporated April 1996, Jewett-Cameron Seed Company, (JCSC), incorporated October 2000, Greenwood Products, Inc. (Greenwood), incorporated February 2002, and Jewett-Cameron Company, incorporated September 2013. Jewett-Cameron Trading Company Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the Company) have no significant assets in Canada. The Company, through its subsidiaries, operates out of facilities located in North Plains, Oregon. JCCs business consists of the manufacturing and distribution of specialty metal products and wholesale distribution of wood products to home centers and other retailers located primarily in the United States. Greenwood is a processor and distributor of industrial wood and other specialty building products principally to customers in the marine and transportation industries in the United States. MSI is an importer and distributor of pneumatic air tools and industrial clamps in the United States. JCSC is a processor and distributor of agricultural seeds in the United States. JC USA provides professional and administrative services, including accounting and credit services, to its subsidiary companies. On May 29, 2018, the Company completed a 2-for-1 forward stock split of its common shares. All share and per share amounts have been retroactively restated (Note 8). These unaudited financial statements are those of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. In the opinion of management, the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements of Jewett-Cameron Trading Company Ltd., contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly state its financial position as of November 30, 2018 and August 31, 2018 and its results of operations and cash flows for the three month periods ended November 30, 2018 and 2017 in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America |

2. Significant Accounting Policies | 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Generally accepted accounting principles These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America. Principles of consolidation These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, JC USA, JCC, MSI, JCSC, and Greenwood, all of which are incorporated under the laws of Oregon, U.S.A. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates incorporated into the Companys consolidated financial statements include the estimated useful lives for depreciable and amortizable assets, the estimated allowances for doubtful accounts receivable and inventory obsolescence, possible product liability and possible product returns, and litigation contingencies and claims. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and cash equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. At November 30, 2018, cash and cash equivalents was $5,427,820 compared to $ at August 31, 2018. Accounts receivable Trade and other accounts receivable are reported at face value less any provisions for uncollectible accounts considered necessary. Accounts receivable primarily includes trade receivables from customers. The Company estimates doubtful accounts on an item-by-item basis and includes over aged accounts as part of allowance for doubtful accounts, which are generally ones that are ninety days or greater overdue. The Company extends credit to domestic customers and offers discounts for early payment. When extension of credit is not advisable, the Company relies on either prepayment or a letter of credit. Inventory Inventory, which consists primarily of finished goods, is recorded at the lower of cost, based on the average cost method, and market. Market is defined as net realizable value. An allowance for potential non-saleable inventory due to excess stock or obsolescence is based upon a review of inventory components. Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. The Company provides for depreciation over the estimated life of each asset on a straight-line basis over the following periods: Minimum Maximum Office equipment 3 7 Warehouse equipment 2 10 Buildings 5 30 Intangibles The Companys intangible assets have a finite life and are recorded at cost. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the remaining life of the asset. The intangible assets are reviewed annually for impairment. . Asset retirement obligations The Company records the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which it incurs a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development, and normal use of the long-lived assets. The Company also records a corresponding asset which is amortized over the life of the asset. Subsequent to the initial measurement of the asset retirement obligation, the obligation is adjusted at the end of each period to reflect the passage of time (accretion expense) and changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying the obligation (asset retirement cost). The Company does not have any significant asset retirement obligations. Impairment of long-lived assets and long-lived assets to be disposed of Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount and the fair value less costs to sell. Currency and foreign exchange These financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars as the Company's operations are primarily based in the United States. The Company does not have non-monetary or monetary assets and liabilities that are in a currency other than the U.S. dollar. Any statement of operations transactions in a foreign currency are translated at rates that approximate those in effect at the time of translation. Gains and losses from translation of foreign currency transactions into U.S. dollars are included in current results of operations. Earnings per share Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the period. Diluted earnings per common share takes into consideration common shares outstanding (computed under basic earnings per share) and potentially dilutive common shares. The number of common shares outstanding has been adjusted for a 2 for 1 forward stock split effective May 29, 2018 (Note 8). The earnings per share data for the three month periods ended November 30, 2018 and 2017 are as follows: Three Month Periods ended November 30, 2018 2017 Net income $ 349,694 $ 322,433 Basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding 4,256,361 4,468,988 Effect of dilutive securities Stock options - - Diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding 4,256,361 4,468,988 Comprehensive income The Company has no items of other comprehensive income in any period presented. Therefore, net income presented in the consolidated statements of operations equals comprehensive income. Stock-based compensation All stock-based compensation is recognized as an expense in the financial statements and such costs are measured at the fair value of the award. No options were granted during the three month period ended November 30, 2018, and there were no options outstanding on November 30, 2018. Financial instruments The Company uses the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate such values: Cash - the carrying amount approximates fair value because the amounts consist of cash held at a bank and cash held in short term investment accounts. Accounts receivable - the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short-term nature and historical collectability. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities - the carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the obligations. The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments as of November 30, 2018 and August 31, 2018 follows: November 30, 2018 August 31, 2018 Carrying Fair Carrying Fair Amount Value Amount Value Cash and cash equivalents $ 5,427,820 $5,427,820 $ 6,097,463 $6,097,463 Accounts receivable, net of allowance 3,734,550 3,734,550 4,152,492 4,152,492 Accounts payable and accrued liabilities 2,708,331 2,708,331 2,172,299 2,172,299 The following table presents information about the assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of November 30, 2018 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and included situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset: November 30, 2018 Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 5,427,820 $ 5,427,820 $ $ The fair values of cash are determined through market, observable and corroborated sources. Income taxes A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting and net operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax expense (benefit) results from the net change during the year of deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. Shipping and handling costs The Company incurs certain expenses related to preparing, packaging and shipping its products to its customers, mainly third-party transportation fees. All costs related to these activities are included as a component of cost of goods sold in the consolidated statement of operations. All costs billed to the customer are included as sales in the consolidated statement of operations. Revenue recognition The Company recognizes revenue from the sales of lumber, building supply products, industrial wood products, specialty metal products, and other specialty products and tools, when the products are shipped, title passes, and the ultimate collection is reasonably assured. Revenue from the Company's seed operations is generated from seed processing, handling and storage services provided to seed growers, and by the sales of seed products. Revenue from the provision of these services and products is recognized when the services have been performed, products sold and collection of the amounts is reasonably assured. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers In February 2016, Topic 842, Leases Leases In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The accounting standard changes the methodology for measuring credit losses on financial instruments and the timing when such losses are recorded. ASU No. 2016-14 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 31, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU No. 2016-13 on its financial position, results of operations and liquidity. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash (Topic 230): a consensus of the FASBs Emerging Issues Task Force (the Task Force). The new standard requires that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Entities will also be required to reconcile such total to amounts on the balance sheet and disclose the nature of the restrictions. Topic 230 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. The Company adopted this ASU on September 1, 2018, prospectively. There was no material impact on the Companys financial statements on adoption. |

Management's estimates of revenues, operating expenses, and operating capital are subject to certain risks and uncertainties which may affect the recoverability of the Company's investments in its assets. Although management has made its best estimate of these factors based on current conditions, it is possible that changes could occur which could adversely affect management's estimate of the net cash flow expected to be generated from its operations. |

Impairment of Long-lived Assets and Long-lived Assets To Be Disposed of | Impairment of long-lived assets and long-lived assets to be disposed of Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount and the fair value less costs to sell. |

Financial Instruments | Financial instruments The Company uses the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate such values: Cash - the carrying amount approximates fair value because the amounts consist of cash held at a bank and cash held in short term investment accounts. Accounts receivable - the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short-term nature and historical collectability. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities - the carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the obligations. The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments as of November 30, 2018 and August 31, 2018 follows: November 30, 2018 August 31, 2018 Carrying Fair Carrying Fair Amount Value Amount Value Cash and cash equivalents $ 5,427,820 $5,427,820 $ 6,097,463 $6,097,463 Accounts receivable, net of allowance 3,734,550 3,734,550 4,152,492 4,152,492 Accounts payable and accrued liabilities 2,708,331 2,708,331 2,172,299 2,172,299 The following table presents information about the assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of November 30, 2018 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and included situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset: November 30, 2018 Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 5,427,820 $ 5,427,820 $ $ The fair values of cash are determined through market, observable and corroborated sources. |

The accounting standard changes the methodology for measuring credit losses on financial instruments and the timing when such losses are recorded. ASU No. 2016-14 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 31, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU No. 2016-13 on its financial position, results of operations and liquidity. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash (Topic 230): a consensus of the FASBs Emerging Issues Task Force (the Task Force). The new standard requires that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Entities will also be required to reconcile such total to amounts on the balance sheet and disclose the nature of the restrictions. Topic 230 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. The Company adopted this ASU on September 1, 2018, prospectively. There was no material impact on the Companys financial statements on adoption. |
